Red Tower — Attraction in England

This is a great small historic building, an old defensive red brick tower on the Bar Walls. It has recently been fitted out with all modern conveniences and become a local community hub, which currently runs a weekly PAYF cafe, regular craft activities, supermarket surplus food outlet, advice sessions and occasional special events to tie in with other things happening in York.
